Personal Demons

De: Lisa Desrochers

Narrado por: Michael Nathanson, Sara Barnett

If you had to choose between Heaven and Hell, which would it be? Are you sure about that...?

Frannie Cavanaugh is a good Catholic girl with a wicked streak. She's spent years keeping everyone at a distance - even her closest friends - and it seems her senior year will be more of the same...until Luc Cain enrolls in her class. No one knows where he came from, but Frannie can't seem to stay away from him. What she doesn't know is that Luc works in Acquisitions - for Hell - and she possesses a unique skill set that has the king of Hell tingling with anticipation. All Luc has to do is get her to sin, and he's as tempting as they come. Frannie doesn't stand a chance.

Unfortunately for Luc, Heaven has other plans, and the angel, Gabe, is going to do whatever it takes to make sure that Luc doesn't get what he came for. And it isn't long before they find themselves fighting for more than just her soul.

But if Luc fails, there will be Hell to pay...for all of them.

Reseñas de la Crítica

What the Critics Say:

“Personal Demons is as scary--and sexy--a book as I’ve read in a long time.” (Claudia Gray, best-selling author of Hourglass)

"Fun and entertaining . . . the fight for Frannie’s soul isn’t going to be easy, and the excitement doesn’t stop. Good versus evil shouldn’t be this much fun, but it is! A hot debut.” (Maria V. Snyder, best-selling author of Fire Study)

YA urban romance fantasy

This is a nice story and easy listening - with a mix of supernatural romance, a tiny bit of action (really only a little) and of course a lot of teenage hormones spilling out...

But what makes it really a nice listening are the two narrators (hardly ever had the joy of a good narrator managing different characters convincingly) who take turns telling the story for the two (or three, well you will find out) main characters

If you expect big action, a great teary love story or heroes who really deal with their "personal demons" - you might be disappointed... but for the rest of us, who sometimes just likes easy-going, typical YA urban romance fantasy (I would call it that) - this is your book!

SARA BARNETT voice has got to go!

Any additional comments?

The book was good. I love Michael's voice. He does a great job with Luc's voice and all, which is the only reason why I kept listening but Sara Barnett's should not read anymore. She got the worst voice ever!! She sounds like a 12 year old. Totally ruined the main chicks image. The story overall, though, was OK. I would listen to the second book as long as Sara is no longer reading!!!

super

enjoyed this story very much, a good love triangle. can't wait to start the next book.

Read it...don’t listen

Great story! Well thought out and written. Imaginative, romantic, and funny. My only criticism is the female narrator. She sounds like she’s about twelve or thirteen years old and it is quite disturbing and distracting to listen to her trying to be breathy and sexy. I almost couldn’t finish but, the story kept me hanging on. I’m pretty bummed as I am sucked in to the story line but only have time to listen as I drive about town daily. I want to know how the story ends!

Really Good

I read a lot of YA and I'm not a YA.....this was really romantic without being too sappy or "highschool-y". A fun listen

I just don't know yet

I don't like the voice of the girl, sorry Just doesn't work for me too "wavery" (is that a word?) and the boy I don't know. Maybe I'm just not used to this. Will read it the traditional way on my kindle. Sorry.

So much potential wasted on bad writing.

Ok so the writing itself isn’t terrible but it’s just missing entirely. The whole love triangle isn’t feasible at all. It should not have even been attempted. This book just goes through the motions and hits the checkpoints. No elaboration, no character development, no enticing qualities. And the female narrator sounds pre-teen with a cold. Definitely detracts from the story. I am so disappointed.
